George Clooney slams Donald Trump, Steve Bannon

George Clooney insisted President Donald Trump and chief strategist Steve Bannon are the same “Hollywood elitists” their supports reject.

Citing the Washington Times, Fox News reports that the 55-year-old actor appeared on the French program “Recontres de Cinema” where he discussed Meryl Streep’s speech during the Golden Globes in January. Clooney claimed it's wrong for conservatives to dismiss the 67-year-old’s statement just because she’s a wealthy actress.

“This is the part that makes me a little crazy,” said Clooney, as quoted by Gossip Cop. “When Meryl spoke, everyone on that one side was like, ‘Well, Hollywood elitist Hollywood speaking’. Donald Trump has 22 acting credits. He collects $120,000 a year from a Screen Actor’s Guild pension fund. He is a Hollywood elitist.”

“Steve Bannon is a failed film writer and director. That’s the truth, that’s what he’s done,” added Clooney, who also stated that Americans have a “demagogue” in the White House.

“He wrote a Shakespearean rap musical about the L.A. riots that he couldn’t get made, you know, which is a shock. He made a lot of money off ‘Seinfeld.’ He’s elitist — Hollywood. That’s the reality if you want to look at it that way.”
